Bravo pour cette merveilleuse image....j'aime beaucoup ce personnage qui se detache subtilement du fond...et qui a la fois fait transpirer ...beauté...et pitié...

This is a beautiful composition. The child sitting on the bench looks as if he or she is longing to be outside instead of taking care of a younger sibling.
The picture is a little dark and I've provided a workshop for you to consider.
*****************
C'est une belle composition. L'enfant s'asseyant sur le banc regarde comme si lui ou elle désire ardemment pour être dehors au lieu de prendre soin d'un plus jeune enfant de mêmes parents.
L'image est peu une foncée et j'ai fourni un atelier pour vous pour considérer.

Je me souviens d'avoir vu cette photo en tout petit, je n'avais pas pris la peine de la regarder. Mea culpa... Vraiment très joli, je vais essayer de voir si je peux la changer un peu, mais je dois dire qu'elle me plait vraiment ainsi.

Magnifique! I really like this young beautiful girl in the dark with her eyes looking outside. Linda said it right, she looks like she is longing to be outside. Even with the little foot it would be great, but with it it's simply brilliant.

Poignant image. The child's eyes are so striking, she looks scared and very mistrusting. So young to be in charge of a little baby....
The threadbare knickers is a great counterpoint to the bright cotton wrap she has on her lap. Pity about the purple corduroy object in the lower left corner, but one has to take this kind of picture when you see it, eh?

Cette photo est tout simplement grandiose. Cet enfant dans le noir, au regard rêveur est attendrissant. Merci.

This is very mysteriously beautiful. I love the minimal lighting and the sparkle in the eyes of the girl. Composition is perfect.

The eyes are wonderful. Very delicate work. You managed to keep enough details in both shade and light. Thank you.

C'est le titre qui m'a intrigué. Et puis je l'ai vu et l'émotion a eu lieu. C'est superbement bien fait. La grande zone d'ombre au fond et la lumière au premier plan sur le sol et au milieu ce petit pied. Très fort !

Great photo! I like how the child is half in shadows. For my taste, the colour and light level here is perfect. Nice expression that you caught on his face as well. Thanks!

Excellent composition. Her eyes emergerd from deep black ocean and look on our world in disbelief

It's an amazing portrait. IMO, the blow out bottom part shouldn't be there. It distracts my eye. Here a close up w/s of mine. Well seen.

Good balance. Both for the limited color, the subject. The darkness is perfect. The subject is edged by the darkness- though not yet lost in it.

Great composition! Congratulations to you.
One of the best snaps of TE.
